After a week of temps in the high 20's and low 30's Southern Ontario was bound for some convective weather. Around 1pm things started heating up near Lake Huron. The storms at the time were somewhat disorganized but stronger Cape and Lifting were to the east. Later in the afternoon most of Southern Ontario was under severe thunderstorm warning or watches. Around 3:50pm doppler radar indicated that a severe thunderstorm located near
Balsalm Lake could produce a tornado. Therefore Peterborough and the Kawartha's went under a tornado warning. The day went on with many storms, however none did acually produce tornadoes. Large hail and high winds however were reported.
